Hi gurus, my friend and I recently had a discussion on why businesses would want to borrow money from the bank with such hefty interest rates. Obviously we couldnt convince ourselves that getting a loan is good. What do you think? For example, why would a "mixed rice" store want to borrow money from the bank?

This is common.
By borrowing loan, you can straight away run a big eatery to maximise the profit

When you forked out your own capital, let's say RM100k, to run the biz. Assuming the ROI per annum is 30%, you'll get RM30k profit.

Now, let's say you borrowed RM1m to run the biz & assuming ROI is the same, you'll get RM300k profit. What's the bank's hefty IR? Assuming 10%, then out of that RM300k profit, the bank will take RM100k in IR & RM200k is left for you.

So you wanna keep your own RM100k personal use & use other people's money to earn RM200k? Or do you prefer to use your own RM100k to run the biz & earn RM30k? Earn RM200k or earn RM30k?

Anyway, that's all theoretical talks & assumptions. There's also the possibility of:
- the biz go bust & you owe the bank
- the biz barely breaking even & you're struggling to pay the loan
- the ROI increase tremendously due to economies of scale & you earn even higher

Also, do note that the bank won't lend you money if your biz hasn't been profitable for few years.
